I was in my house this weekend reading, while i heard a bunch of idiots down the street honking horns as a caravan. They were blazing music by Ja Rule, Jay-Z and Eminiem. So i decided to get outside and see what it was all about. Then this guy gets on the speaker phone and says "aight East Elmhurst, wake up! "Listen up Queens!" "We about to do this for you NYC!" "HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Then he says, It's time to make a change! Go vote on Sunday. Vote on my man Charlie Castro for senate. I noticed that they were waving mostly dominican flags only 2 were US. So once he stopped talking i approached the speaker in the car. I asked him why should we vote for this Charlie Castro? Where does he satnd on the "issues"? He replied by saying "I'm busy kid." I"t doesn't corcern you."
So I tried to get him to answer me by telling him that i would tell my parents about Castro. So he told me to check the website. I was very curious to know if this guy knew anything about Castro so I told him I had no internet. So now the guy looked nervous, I think he didn't want to look bad infront of a kid so he quickly said i'm busy and grabbed the speakerphone from the man doing the current anouncements that have nothing to do with his policies. Then I told the guy "I bet your just voting for Castro because he has dominican ancestors, or why else would you be waving the dominican flag?" Then he just laughed as if he admitted it. Then I relized that this had been the first time i exposed something like that out of an adult. I've always havd thoughts of doing it before but i couldn't believe i just did it to an adult and not just a kid.

People run on the race card all the time. McCall who's currently running for NY Governer is running on the Democratic ticket, and has a good chance of getting a large portion of the black vote here in New York, just by the vertue of being born black.

Aronowitz however, who is running for NY State Governer on the Green ticket has said, " The Democratic and Republican Parties have converged. Their economic policies are rearly identical promoting corporate welfare at the expense of small businesses and the rest of us. They claim that anything that hurts big business is not a viable position. My job is to start a public converation to show voters they have a choice. "

Jennifer Daniels, a black woman running for Lt. Governer in New York on the Green Ticket.. has recently said, " No one should live in fear for their health or be forced to choose between food and medicine. Rather, as Hippocrates said, our food should be our medicine. Much of the technology that Americans rely on to improve their health has been damaging their health and pocketbooks. Every New York citizen should have clean air, healthy water and good food."

We don't have to vote for the same old Republic/crats just because they say, "VOTE FOR ME".

Yes I live in New York. I recently moved from Long Island to the capitol in Albany. I've also started to campain for the Green Party, for several reasons... but one that I think is extremly important is that The Green Party risks loosing balot status this election, and since the Socialist Party has already lost balot status, this means New York State will be without a Third Party.
